- 6 oz whole milk steamed & frothed with espresso maker
- 1 oz Torani Apple Syrup

- 16 oz. strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Torani Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup

Notes
To make freshly whipped cream, simply whip 1 cup cold heavy cream in chilled metal bowl with 1 teaspoon of confectioner's sugar. *Alternatively, if you really want to go guilt free, as an alternative to the confectioner's sugar, you can always use 1 cup heavy whipping cream + 2 tablespoons of whichever Torani Sugar Free Syrup to make flavored whipped cream. For traditional, use the vanilla flavor
